Did you just assume my gender? Oh my....

John Williams wrote the score for both Star Wars and Harry Potter, and yet they dont sound the same. I guess that surprises you, as it was the same creator, albeit writing for two different employers?

Deep cut.

If you don’t like the US in the world cup, just never watch until the quarter finals.

but you just cannot do anything about latency unless you change the rules of physics.

Fyi, the USA is 28th in internet speeds in the world. That is horrible when compared to the amount of money isp’s get for the sub-par service they offer. And with no more than 1 to 2 choices for service providers the monopoly has only hurt us consumers. Plus the take down of Net neutrality just makes me sick. At least …

As someone who lives in Finland, middle on nowhere far up north, a small unremarkable country. And I do have pretty decent internet, 100/100 megs, but I wonder how far away the nearest streaming server would be? Would it even be in the same country as me? Somewhere more than 1000 km away? What’s the lag time be with…

They can actually win in this one.

For a moment I was excited that they left the US out of the game, but then those dang Stars and Stripes flashed on the screen at the very end.

Yes, you’re entirely correct, but we’re talking about Kotaku (as US based blog) that’s writing about a US based company (Google). Honestly, I don’t see Google or Amazon offering their streaming game services to other places in the world for a long time, if only because the market for games in the US is really only…

Hey now, don’t sully the good name of the Sega Nomad.  That thing was awesome.

I think a lot of folks judging here aren’t looking at the younger generations that are coming up. Many of which don’t invest into desktops or consoles like older gen-x/y’ers did/do.

I think all of the people saying that streaming is the way forward are looking through some pretty limited lenses. Like you say in the article, the majority of the country has access to less-than-optimal broadband; and the price of that shitty connection isn’t worth what they’re getting.

I have one of the Steam…

As an Android user I look forward to google pushing this initiative SUPER hard for a year and then completely abandoning it 

Both games have the same bugs is pretty damning evidence that the code was copied. However, if the same company worked on both games... this is different from WB stealing intellectual property. The beef will have to be taken up with Behaviour. 

Or the fact that these teams usually keep with the “old guard” who led them to glory 4 years ago instead of bringing in fresh talent or (probably more importantly) fresh tactics. Players get old and other teams adjust to what you did 4 years ago....

Damn, that was a crushing game to watch as a German fan. Can’t even get angry about the result as it was about what they deserved with that game. I get that every big team has that collapse and hopefully they’ll be able to rebound for Euro 2020 with some new fire in them, but it didn’t make any more pleasant to watch.
